Our expert's notes

One Sheet (27" x 41") ;
Very Fine Folded; Artwork by Bill Garland
American-International, 1979

Billed as "The Maximum Force of the Future," Mad Max (Mel Gibson) is depicted in beautiful artwork on this poster, which is folded in outstanding condition and displays only general fold wear, a small area of separation at the end of one fold and a V-shaped crease at the end of each horizontal fold in the borders.

This low-budget, independently-made dystopian action film, cast with unknown stars, helmed by an unknown, first-time director, and written by a finance journalist crafting his first screenplay, would likely not have been singled out at the time as the beginning of a highly successful franchise and the launching pad for a few remarkable careers, but that's precisely what it did. Mad Max (1979) was the brainchild of George Miller, an emergency room doctor in Sydney, who was intimately familiar with the kinds of injury and death seen in this film about Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson), a cop-turned-vigilante trying to bring law and order to collapsing society (Miller raised part of the money for this film by doing several months of emergency medical calls). The initial film was followed by three sequels (the first two with Gibson) and continues to be a fan-favorite.
